This encyclopedia is a brilliant, deeper dive into many instruments. There’s a selection of more unconventional ones from all over the world too. It includes a range of vocal voices and even the computer as an instrument!
Each instrument is given a gloriously characterful illustration of an animal playing it and is accompanied by a description and interesting facts alongside. You can even scan a QR code that links to a short video meaning you can hear the instrument too, so you can listen and learn at the same time.
From Chloe's list on children's books that feature music heavily.
